About this study

Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a life-saving procedure performed daily in emergency medicine. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2010 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines suggest that intubators should be able to secure the airway without interrupting chest compression. However, ETI with uninterrupted chest compression in patients can be a very difficult skill to acquire.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to intubation

    Time frame: 1 day

    time from insertion of the blade to the first manual ventilation of the manikin´s lungs. If time of intubation is over than 60 seconds, attempt was recognized as failure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success of intubation

    Time frame: 1 day

    effectiveness of the first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants using four intubation devices. If the examinee failed at all attempts, the case was excluded from the time calculations.

  2. POGO score

    Time frame: 1 day

    self-reported percentage of glottis opening (POGO) score

  3. VAS score

    Time frame: 1 day

    participants were asked which method they would prefer in a real-life resuscitation.

  4. Cormack-Lehan scale

    Time frame: 1 day

    self reported Cormack-Lehan scale during intubation
